Detailed analysis of the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Motion 4WD · 203 CV (2014-2016)
General description
The 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Motion 4WD is presented as an innovative proposal in the SUV segment, combining the versatility of an all-terrain vehicle with the efficiency of a plug-in hybrid system. With a price of 35,800 euros, this model seeks to offer an ecological and practical alternative for everyday use, standing out for its ability to drive in fully electric mode and its all-wheel drive.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the Outlander PHEV offers a smooth and quiet driving experience, especially in electric mode. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 11 seconds and a top speed of 170 km/h do not make it a sports car, but it is an agile vehicle for most situations. The 4WD traction provides safety and confidence in various conditions, while the suspension, McPherson type at the front and deformable parallelogram at the rear, filters road irregularities well, offering remarkable comfort. The electric power steering contributes to relaxed driving, although it does not stand out for its sportiness. The electric range of 52 km (NEDC) allows covering many urban journeys without emissions, which translates into a feeling of efficiency and respect for the environment.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is functional and robust, with lines that reflect its SUV character. Its dimensions, with 4655 mm long, 1810 mm wide and 1680 mm high, give it an imposing presence on the road. Although it is not a design that seeks extravagance, its aesthetics are modern and well-proportioned, with details that denote its hybrid nature. The 18-inch wheels and 225/55 R18 tires complement its image as a capable and versatile vehicle. The interior, with five seats and a 498-liter trunk, is designed for comfort and family practicality.
Technology and features
Technology is the heart of the Outlander PHEV. Its plug-in hybrid system combines a 1998 cc 82 hp gasoline engine with electric motors, offering a combined power of 203 hp. The 12 kWh battery (8.4 kWh usable) allows an electric range of 52 km according to the NEDC cycle. The single-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive (AWD) manage power efficiently. It stands out for its combined consumption of 1.9 l/100km and CO2 emissions of 44 g/km, which gives it the '0 emissions' label from the DGT. Full charging with alternating current takes 5 hours, which facilitates its daily use. Electric power steering and ventilated front disc brakes and rear discs complete a technological package focused on efficiency and safety.
Competition
In the 2015 plug-in hybrid SUV market, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV faced rivals such as the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid (although not plug-in at the time), the Volvo XC60 T8 Twin Engine or the Audi Q5 e-tron, although the latter were usually positioned in a higher price segment. Its main competitive advantage lay in its combination of 4WD traction, electric range and a competitive price, which made it an attractive option for those looking for a family SUV with low emissions and reduced running costs.
Conclusion
The 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Motion 4WD is a vehicle that stands out for its practical and efficient approach. Its plug-in hybrid technology, combined with all-wheel drive, makes it a versatile option for the city and for getaways. It offers a good balance between comfort, space and economy of use, especially if its electric capacity is maximized. It is a solid proposal for families looking for an SUV with an ecological conscience and contained maintenance costs, without sacrificing safety and adaptability to different terrains.
